Jacob Rump is a philosopher working at the intersection of epistemology, theories of meaning and language, phenomenology, and the philosophy and ethics of artificial intelligence. From an historical perspective, he specializes in the early twentieth-century phenomenological tradition and its intersections with the history of analytic philosophy, and seeks to bring neglected insights from these traditions into dialogue with contemporary concerns. He has published widely in these areas, including, most recently, on the status of understanding in the age of AI and implications for education in the Humanities. He is currently completing a monograph entitled Meaning Without Language: A Phenomenological Account of Sense, Understanding and the Challenge of AI. He earned his MA (2010) and PhD (2013) in Philosophy at Emory University, with doctoral research at the Edmund Husserl Archive at the University of Cologne, Germany, and his AB (2005) in Philosophy and English at Wabash College (Phi Beta Kappa 2004).
